Updated on: 29-04-2024 Events management is one of the most exciting and dynamic sectors of business. This unit combines your creativity and organisational skills to produce successful, memorable events, whether for profit or social enterprise. You will investigate a number of successful events, both large and small, and use this research to assess the feasibility of events to plan and run yourself. Examples could range from organising meetings, product launches, exhibitions, promotions, charity events, team-building events and staff development, to a full-scale conference. Your chosen event will be carefully planned, demonstrating your ability to use planning tools. You will then stage the event, testing the effectiveness of your planning. This will require you to ‘think on your feet’, deal with financial and security issues, liaise with suppliers and venue personnel, and utilise your problem-solving skills. Afterwards you will evaluate the success of the event. To complete the assessment task within this unit, you will need to draw on your learning from across your programme. This unit will develop your teamwork, communication, time-management, negotiation and problem-solving skills. It will help you develop the essential transferable skills that employers look for. The unit will provide a useful opportunity to consider whether to pursue a career in events management or to continue on to further study in this area.

Updated on: 29-04-2024 Organisations and individuals increasingly depend on the functions and services offered by computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and personal desktop computers. You make use of computing programs when using an operating system or application programs such as word processing and spreadsheets. Understanding the concepts of high-quality software application design and development is key to ensuring that products are effective. As a programmer, you will need to understand the characteristics of different programming languages in order to select and apply appropriate methodologies to meet a client’s needs. Many organisations and businesses rely on computer programs to help deliver products and services. Organisations and businesses (often known as ‘clients’) work closely with programmers to help design and build computer programs that fulfil their requirements. To complete the assessment task within this unit, you will need to draw on your learning from across your programme of study and apply programming skills to provide a solution for a new IT-related problem. You will learn about computational thinking skills and the principles of designing and developing computer programs. You will apply computational thinking skills to design, develop, test, refine and review computer programs for a given range of purposes. By developing your analytical, problem-solving and programming skills, this unit will help you to progress to higher education or to employment as a software developer.
